CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND 

COMMUNITY SERVICE 

Proposed Information Collection; 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: Corporation for National and 

Community Service. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National 

and Community Service (CNCS), as part 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

25116 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 85 / Friday, May 2, 2014 / Notices 

of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This 

program helps to ensure that: Requested 

data can be provided in the desired 

format; reporting burden (time and 

financial resources) is minimized; 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood; and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. 

Currently, CNCS is soliciting 

comments concerning its proposed 

National Assessment of the Social 

Innovation Fund (SIF). The study 

involves two major data collection 

activities. The first is a survey of SIF 

grantees (intermediary organizations) 

and two comparison groups (nonselected SIF applicant organizations, 

and a sample of national nonprofits that 

make grants to U.S. organizations). The 

second involves semi-structured 

interviews with stakeholders of the 

intermediaries to obtain more in-depth 

understanding of the SIF program. Both 

the survey and the stakeholder 

interviews are intended to be repeated 

annually for three years. The survey and 

stakeholder interviews are designed to 

allow CNCS SIF program administrators 

and others in the field to understand 

how the SIF program is implemented 

and what effects the program has on 

participating organizations 

(intermediaries and sub grantees) and 

on the larger field of social innovation, 

scaling of interventions, and evidencebased grantmaking. Completion of this 

information collection is not required to 

be considered for or obtain grant 

funding from the Social Innovation 

Fund. 

Copies of the information collection 

request can be obtained by contacting 

the office listed in the Addresses section 

of this Notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the individual and office 

listed in the ADDRESSES section by July 

1, 2014.

collection activity, by any of the 

following methods:

email at lzandniapour@cns.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CNCS is 

particularly interested in comments 

that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of CNCS, including whether 

the information will have practical 

utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are expected to respond, including the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology 

(e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses). 

Background 

CNCS has contracted with ICF 

International to support CNCS’s Office 

of Research and Evaluation to 

implement a national assessment of the 

SIF program, focusing on SIF impact on 

use of evidence-based grant making 

strategies, organizations’ ability and 

willingness to build the evidence base 

for models and to scale models, and 

collaborative approaches to addressing 

local community needs. This project 

involves a quasi-experimental research 

design, using a survey of SIF grantees 

(intermediaries), and comparison groups 

of (1) non-selected applicants and (2) 

other grant making nonprofits. 

Additionally the study involves a series 

of brief interviews with various 

stakeholders to augment and assist in 

understanding the survey results. 

Survey data will be collected using an 

on-line survey program. Interview data 

will be collected via taped and written 

notes on telephone conversations. 

Data analysis will focus on identifying 

and understanding factors associated 

with intermediaries’ selection and 

support of sub-grantees, implementation 

of rigorous evaluation methods, scaling 

of evidence-based interventions, and 

change in organizational culture, 

infrastructure, and behavior. 

Quantitative data analysis will include 

descriptive statistics, inferential 

analysis of survey responses by 

organization characteristics, and 

comparisons among SIF grantees and 

between grantees and the comparison 

groups. Qualitative data analysis of 

stakeholder interviews will supplement 

data from the surveys.
